MODERATORS
If you're a developer, read the source code. People will tell you how they remember things working, or how they think they should work. The code is what it is.
I don't know if that's obvious for people entering this profession but mind that you don't read code like a book. Check how the functions you use are implemented. What's being called from where (call stack helps in the debugger). How are experience programmers managing their code etc. It's a good skill to learn how to navigate other people code and quickly find the parts that matter
